How has learning that changed how you live and work?
Generation Y is a generation of fast learners and research predicts that Generation Z even brighter than we are. However, we often trade the practice of learning new things for the discipline of changing our behavior based on what we learn.
Change is difficult and each generation handles change differently. I am guilty of preferring to learn new things rather than taking the time to implement the new things I learn in my life to bring about positive change. Unfortunately, change requires patience, effort, discipline, and all sorts of other things that are more difficult that acting like you are better off just for knowing something new.
So how do we break the habit of learning new things without pushing ourselves to change as result of what we learn?

Very good post! They say that the first step towards changing your habits for the better is recognizing what it is you wish to change. You've outlined that thought very well in your post. I've found myself facing the same struggle and there's an age old wisdom-key that I've been reminded of lately: “Your success is decided by what you are willing to ignore”.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Gil – great thoughts. “Your success is decided by what you are willing to ignore” This will make you think! What comes to my mind right away is how successful people seem to have clarity of purpose and that purpose is the one thing they are driving towards. They are able to say no to great opportunities because they have learned what is important for them to say yes to.
I'm looking forward to more wisdom from you Gil. Check out Gil's blog here: http://gilpizano.com
